IEEE TENCON is the premier international technical conference of IEEE Region 10, the Asia Pacific Region, one of the largest regional organizations of the IEEE. Held annually since 1980, TENCON provides an important forum for researchers and engineers from industry, and professors and graduate students from the academia to network and to discuss new ideas and developments in emerging areas of electrical and electronic engineering, computer science and related fields.

The conference will feature plenary and invited talks by eminent scientists and engineers, tutorials, paper presentations, poster sessions and industrial exhibits. This year’s invited speakers will discuss the latest developments on advancing technology for humanity – a major theme of the IEEE.

This Certification Review Course is an introduction into Linux System Administration. No prior knowledge of Linux is required; only general computing knowledge and experience. This course is perfectly suited for system administrators, developers and power-users migrating their IT infrastructure to Linux. The labs and concepts are independent of a particular distribution of Linux; and apply to other flavors of UNIX as well.

Learning Objectives

This course equips students with the required competencies to handle the Linux / Unix OS and prepare them for the LPI LPIC-1 101 exam which mainly covers fundamental Linux skills such as file management and manipulation, text processing, command line use, package management, filesystems, hardware, and more.

Course Design

This five-day intensive and hands-on training is designed to prepare students to take the 101 exam of the LPI level 1 certification with confidence and have a high impact on the IT personnel’s performance as well as to his team.

Courseware. Our curriculum directly targets the most recent LPI exam objectives; thus, we use the latest version (July 6, 2012 US release) of the Guru Labs Student Manual.

Presentations and Simulations. Several presentations and scenario activities from the participants shall be part of the course delivery to encourage application of concepts learned in re-created scenarios.

Skills Assessment and Exam Review & Simulation. There shall be a simulated exam at the end of the program to measure preparedness for the certification exam. Should the student pursue an international certification from Pearson VUE, then this portion of the training can gauge readiness for the next level.
